Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Steering
Reports naming the steering system — racks, columns, power-steering assist and steering linkage.
From owner reports, verbatim
clicking sound coming from steering wheel when not turning wheel
Felt like the gas petal got stuck and caused a crash all air bags depoyed no forward collision warning or breaking activated
Driver assistance
Reports naming forward-collision avoidance, lane keeping, back-over prevention, cruise control and related electronic driver-assistance systems.
From owner reports, verbatim
While driving at approximately 50mph the vehicle abruptly and aggressively applied the brake despite there being no vehicles, pedestrians, or any other objects in its path. The red braking display appeared on the dashboard. After the abrupt braking I was able to resume accelerating as normal. This could have caused a serious collision. The vehicle is scheduled to be inspected at the local Honda dealership service department on 10/31. There were no warning lamps just prior to the incident. However, in mid September the vehicle displayed multiple warnings and had to be taken to the dealership service department. They diagnosed the problem being related to low coolant, but weren’t completely certain that was the issue.
I have experienced this 2 times once in late august early September of this year 2026 and on [XXX] I was making a left turn onto a street in Long Beach, CA in-between [XXX]. I was going under 25 miles and did not have cruise control or the driver assist for lane steering on and as soon as I started to make a left the vehicle abruptly stopped causing the upper half of my body to jerk forward hurting my lower back again and now I have slight headaches waking up in the morning again since then. Its like the vehicle sensed there was a vehicle in front of me, parked cars on the street or passing by me going in the opposite direction, and the automatic break came on as if I was going to be in a collision which I wasn't. Again, I didn't use the steering assistance in the vehicle, because I stopped using it after the first incident occurred. The second time, [XXX] I was going to slow for cruise control to be on, so I'm not sure why this mechanism even was active unless it's just a built-in feature. Nevertheless, built-in or not, it malfunctioned injuring me. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Visibility
Reports naming windshields, glass, wipers, defrosters and mirrors.
From owner reports, verbatim
Problem 1: Windshield wipers do not more far enough to the left A-pillar. Rain accumulates in a large area along the A-pillar and creates a large blind spot while turning left. The wiper also drags the rainwater back toward the right making the blind spot ever wider. Problem 2: Windshield washer fluid doesn't reach the entire windshield, particularly the passenger side. Fluid only comes out at the top of the wiper stroke, so the wiper wipes dry windshield. The spray arrives late, sometimes when the wipers are already nearly vertical. Fluid collects along left edge of the windshield instead of distributing across the glass. The wipers begin sweeping before enough fluid has reached the windshield. Dirt and bugs get smeared rather than cleaned off. The passenger side gets sprayed only along the bottom path of the wiper. There is no spray nozzle for the entire outer half of the wiper. The entire field of view of the passenger side is blurry and not clean. This is a terrible design and a horrible safety issue! Please make Honda recall the wipers and issue a redesigned system.
The contact owns a 2024 Honda CR-V. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (Steering), and the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the recall repair was completed; however, the failure occurred while driving. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and turning, the steering wheel made abnormal sounds, was sticking, and failed to return to center. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the contact was informed that a diagnostic fee was required, and the contact was asked to sign a document. The contact declined to pay the fee or sign the document. Additionally, the contact stated that the windshield wipers were malfunctioning, intermittently moving past the windshield trim and failing to touch the glass while operational. The dealer was notified of the windshield wiper failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.
Fuel system
Reports naming fuel storage or delivery — tanks, pumps, lines, injectors and fuel leaks.
From owner reports, verbatim
The contact owns a 2024 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the warning lights were reset prior to a diagnostic test and the vehicle could not be diagnosed. The contact stated that while her husband was driving 60 MPH, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the spark plugs and an ignition coil in cylinder #1 was replaced; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the valve springs were inspected and adjusted as per the manufacturer's specs; however, there was a misfire during a test drive. The dealer determined that the fuel injectors needed to be replaced. The contact associated the failure with a TSB for fuel injector failures on previous model years. The contact was concerned that the dealer intentionally performed inadequate repairs prior to providing the correct diagnosis. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone, and a case was filed for goodwill assistance. The contact was awaiting a resolution. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.
Sudden unexpected acceleration while pulling into a parking spot.
Electrical
Reports naming the electrical system — wiring, battery, charging, control modules, infotainment and electrical accessories.
From owner reports, verbatim
Was drive down a 3 lane road when all kinds of error message/lighs/indicators lit up the dash board. Eventually the vehicle lost power (No go power) and I ended up coasting to a very slow speed. I then tried to get out of the lane with my emergence lights flashing by turning left to try and get off the road at an intersection. Another vehicle then crashed into me causing serious damage but no injuries. NOT GOOD.
A county wide emergency alert broadcast a very loud alert received by my 2024 CRv's infotainment system. This caused a spike in the car's electrical power. This confused the Idle Stop System. This caused my car to stall in the middle of a left turn onto a heavily trafficked road ([XXX] in [XXX].) I was very lucky that the other cars in the intersection were able to stop, so ther was no collision in this particular case.

Engine
Reports naming the engine itself — including stalling, misfires, oil consumption, cooling and internal engine components.

When the gasoline engine attempted to start, the engine jerked violently and then failed to start. A notice briefly displayed on the dashboard stating, "Power system temperature high. Power may be reduced." The vehicle continued to run on battery power. This occurred several times during a one-hour period when the car attempted to recharge the hybrid battery. The vehicle was being driven in town and had been turned off and on a few times. I took the vehicle to the dealership because I had limited battery range left, but the technicians could not replicate the issue. This first occurred a couple of months ago. The vehicle had been performing normally until last night, when the engine jerked and the warning popped up on the dashboard once again before the vehicle returned to driving normally.
Brakes
Reports naming service brakes, the antilock braking system, brake hoses, master cylinders or the parking brake.

The contact owns a 2024 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH on the highway, the vehicle lost automotive power. The vehicle failed to properly accelerate but remained running. The vehicle was restarted and returned to normal operation. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be inspected; however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure or determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V588000 (Power Train); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,000.
Body & structure
Reports naming the vehicle structure, frame, body panels, doors, hood and trim.
From owner reports, verbatim
On 17 July 2026, I was attempting to park in a handicap parking place at May Washington Hospital Center. The outdoor parking lot is to the right of the hospital entrance and consists of several terraced rows with each terrace a few feet below the one above it. I was halfway into the parking space with my foot on the brake when the car (2024 CRV Hybrid Touring) suddenly accelerated. I pushed the brake pedal but it had no effect. There were no warnings from the safety systems. The front driver side hit a light pole which was the only thing that stopped me from going over the curb completely and dropping down onto the car below. The low speed crash still caused a total loss.
I am reporting multiple factory defects on my 2024 Honda CR-V, led by a severe, confirmed steering safety defect commonly known as 'sticky steering' where the steering wheel sticks/notches while driving and requires excessive force to correct, causing dangerous lane swerving. The authorized Honda dealership confirmed the steering gearbox has failed and requires replacement but the necessary parts are backordered indefinitely, forcing me to leave the unsafe vehicle at the dealership. Furthermore, the vehicle suffers from two additional major unresolved warranty issues recorded under the same Repair Order: a defective door weather stripping seal that has peeled off and detached from the door frame, compromising cabin weather sealing, and a strong, musty mold odor emitted from the AC system on low fan speeds that poses an air quality and health concern for occupants. Due to this unaddressed steering safety hazard, additional factory defects, and backordered parts, the vehicle remains out of service at the dealership (visited on 11 July, noticed that it's unsafe driving and returned the vehicle to service on 16 Jul) and no replacement car has been provided.
Exterior lighting
Reports naming headlights, tail lights, turn signals and other exterior lighting.
From owner reports, verbatim
The headlights are reflective instead of projector headlights. When driving at night you can’t fully see the road ahead. I was turning and almost hit a pedestrian.

Reports whose component NHTSA recorded as unknown, or that do not map to one of the categories above.
From owner reports, verbatim
The contact owns a 2024 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that the carpet was lifting where the floor mat connected to the retention hooks near the driver's side door panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the carpet needed to be replaced; however, the repair was not covered under warranty. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the carpet was replaced twice; however, the failure recurred with the carpet sliding down from underneath the dashboard, shifting away from the door seal and retention hooks. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the failure was confirmed, and the carpet was repositioned, but the driver's side seat sliding mechanism became stuck. The dealer determined that the driver's seat motor had failed and it was replaced. The carpet failure persisted and continued sliding down near the pedals. The vehicle was taken to a second dealer, Norm Reeves Honda Superstore West Covina (1840 E Garvey Ave S, West Covina, CA 91791), where an inspection revealed that the driver's side kick panel was loose and not properly secured, and the first dealer had attempted to repair the carpet by using a staple to attach it to the firewall, possibly causing the carpet to rip apart. The contact was referred to the first dealer, who stated that the district manager had not approved the repair because the vehicle was out of warranty. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone, and four separate reports were filed. The failure mileage was approximately 10,060.
Steering feels sticky/jerky when turning left. Front-left tire outer edge is severely worn down, while other tires are normal. Honda recall 24V744 for steering gearbox was completed, but the problem persists. I suspect the steering rack is defective, causing misalignment and abnormal tire wear. This affects vehicle control and safety.
Suspension
Reports naming suspension components — springs, struts, shocks, control arms and related hardware.

I placed a bid on a vehicle at the co-part location in [XXX] . I reviewed the damage etc. and found it to be an acceptable risk. It was advertised that the car was in an accident with the passenger side and front grill damage. here was allegedly no damage to the motor and most importantly the airbags had not deployed. It was being sold with a salvaged title. Knowing these issues, I purchased the vehicle, had it towed to Miami and began the repairs. I purchased all genuine Honda parts from the dealer and still I could not have all of the lights reset. Upon taking it to another dealership, I learned that my rear seatbelts needed to be replaced, as well as all of the airbags as they had been cut out of the vehicle and the areas where they were located have been closed using drywall screws, some of which are still there. The described condition of the vehicle directly influenced my decision to purchase this vehicle. The lack of airbags could not be discovered from an inspection. I spent over $27,000 to purchase and repair this car as I believed that it was a newer car with much longevity. I was misled by the offer from Copart, and the actions of this company amount to deceptive business practices and possibly even fraud in the inducement. The description of the vehicle and its condition, specifically that the airbags were not deployed, led me to believe that the car was as described. Copart either knew or should have known based on the information provided from the lien holder/insurance that either the airbags had all deployed, and those would have been shown in the photos or that they were still in the car and somehow went "missing" while in the custody of copart. Copart knew this and yet they continued to advertise the airbags as intact. Copart knew that the condition of the car was worse than advertised and that the "as is" terms do not shield copart from the liability of this misrepresentation as this was apparently intentional or reckless.

I was driving my crv and a deer was in the road. I hit the deer going 40mph. It blew out the whole front of my car, my sensors, headlights, both fenders and my hood are dented. No airbags deployed or any sensors alerted me of the object or leaving the roadway. Also when I hit the deer, I lost all steering on that moment. I had to turn off my car and then back on to get my steering to release.

After seeing the IIHS report on this 2024 Honda CRV rear seat safety issue shown in the crash test where the rear seat is deforming during offset crash I wanted to see if the NHTSA was going to investigate this issue further and request that Honda address this obvious safety issue. It would seem the rear seat is not constructed well or maybe the seat bracket is not strong enough for a good crash result and needs to be recalled. Please look into this matter please. Thank you. https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/honda/cr-v/2024?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19779867573&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI97z8zPbJkAMV3yNECB0eOQIoEAAYASAAEgJ99PD_BwE
